Unable to align text right

[jennyreb]

My text in this nav bar will not align to the right
From .css style sheet:

#navblock {
text-align: right;
background-color:#FFF;
position: inherit;
width:130px;
text-align:right;
float: left;
height: 951px;
padding-top: 0.9em;

}

From spry menu bar.css:

ul.MenuBarVertical a
{
display: block;
cursor: pointer;
background-color: #FFF;
padding:.80em 1.25em;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
color: #3d3d3d;
font-size: 130%;
text-align: right;
color: #3d3d3d;
text-decoration: none;

share complete code including html and css. its better if u ll share working link

Aside from what Vikram1vicky says (it's better to see the full picture than what you want us to see), just looking at the code, the culprit looks like it could be this section:

ul.MenuBarVertical a
{
display: block;
cursor: pointer;
background-color: #FFF;
padding:.80em 1.25em;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
color: #3d3d3d;
font-size: 130%;
text-align: right;
color: #3d3d3d;
text-decoration: none;
}

More specifically the padding. You are giving it a padding of 1.25em on the left and right side. Depending on the size of the navigation, it could just be wide enough to hold the text, but giving it a padding on the left and right will not make it look right aligned...it will make it look centered. Try removing the padding on this element and see if the text is right aligned. Also, try enlarging the width of the menu, to make sure the alignment is being applied. If that doesn't solve it, please post all code and (if possible) a link to the site so we can look and diagnose.

You can try align the text by giving it individually style and alignment.
That is what a new and learning programmer like me do
